Dinosaur Feathers’ Whistle Tips just in time for summer
Dinosaur Feathers may be one of the sweetest bands you’ve never heard of. Their first album, Fantasy Memorial, boasted some catchy tunes but never became very popular. With summer approaching, Dinosaur Feathers’ brand of sunny indie rock-pop may finally have its time to shine. Their latest record, Whistle Tips, is a jangly feel-good compilation of [...]
Perfume Genius’ Put Your Back N 2 It turns pain into art
If the nineties taught us anything at all, it’s that misery loves company, and, more specifically, the miserable love a musician who can play guitar with the best of them but isn’t afraid to cry. 2012 has brought in a wave of new artists who openly talk about the darker emotions—and sometimes there isn’t a [...]
Cloud Nothings prove indie music still rocks hard
Dylan Baldi’s band Cloud Nothings is all grown up. On their latest album, “Attack on Memory,” the band leaves behind their dreamy lo-fi days for darker material. The catchy melodies are still intact; however, thanks to producer Steve Albini, the sound is aggressive and more powerful than anything that Cloud Nothings has created before. The [...]
On Phantogram’s Nightlife, ambiguous mix of music melds unstable mix of genres
Categorizing the sound on Phantogram’s latest EP, Nightlife, was a blast and a half.

So readers, in order to provide a sense of stability, I’ve created a metaphor that will hopefully express the general musical [...]
Surfer Blood’s new EP ‘Tarot Classics’ shines
2010 was the year that music took one long trip to the beach. Personally, I enjoyed it. There’s nothing like never-ending summer playing in your ears during Tacoma’s long, wet winters. However, as the newest wave of surf rockers make their assent into sophomore album territory, one must ask: Is it possible for these bands [...]
Zola Jesus’ indie-electronica brightens gray autumn days
If there was a musical response to Tacoma’s sunless winter weather, it would be gothic-pop princess Zola Jesus’ latest EP, “Conatus”. Zola Jesus, also known as Nika Roza Danilova, was originally trained as an opera singer; however, these days her voice sounds like a fiercer version of Lykke Li…in mourning. Danilova’s tracks drip with lovely [...]
